Through a series of stories--some epic, like her mother and father's daring escapes from communes during China's Cultural Revolution, and some banal, like her quitting Chinese school to watch Saturday morning cartoons--Wong carefully examines the cultural, historical, language, and personality barriers to intimacy in her family, seeking answers to the questions \"Where did I come from?\" and \"Where are we going?\" At the same time, she discovers how storytelling can bridge distances and help make sense of a life. A book for children of immigrants trying to honor their parents' pasts while also making a different kind of future for themselves, All Our Ordinary Stories is poignant in its understated yet nuanced depictions of complicated family dynamics. Wong's memoir is a heartfelt exploration of identity, inheritance, and the refugee experience, as well as a testament to the transformative power of stories both told and untold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024-09-24\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arsenal Pulp Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48276322746594,"sku":"9781551529493","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781551529493.jpg?v=1787898207","url":"https:\/\/www.mangadeal.com\/products\/9781551529493","provider":"Manga Deal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
